Meridian/P46T SNOW, ICE and LOW VIS. KCDW to KHGR; LIFL Episode 1

Check out the inaugural episode of Life in the Fast Lane, my vlog about flying and being in a nationally touring musical act. I am a pilot as well as the drummer for Eaglemania, the world's greatest tribute to the Eagles. Join me on this journey as I attempt to capture the analysis, decisions, and challenges of using general aviation for time-critical, practical purposes, in this case making it to sound check on time, while I travel the country with Eaglemania.

Hello Doc, I just became a subscriber of yours after watching your appearance on Flight Chops.

[munroeje]

Congrats! Awesome video. This is the first time in 37 years of flying that someone has made weather interesting! Hope you guys can book Wolftrap in Vienna, VA sometime soon.

[andrewriedel]

Great video! Found you through Flight Chops, wish I'd know about you sooner!

[ZachTate]

This is Amazing! You are truly living the PPL dream. Really apperciate you sharing all of the planning details and the reasons for the trip. That really enhances the video and gives everything meaning.

[bobspencildrawings]

I really like how you explain your flight from start to finish with WX brief and flight. Great video.

Love this! As a pilot, SEL owner and musician ( bass player/ classic rock/ R&B/motown and yes we. play some Eagles songs) Im also restarting my IFR training....I’m envious as hell...this combines my two favorite things, and you’re flying on a tour! Awesome! Have fun!

Oh man, The Long Run. First Eagles album I ever owned but it was 8-Track. Man I wore that poor thing out. Not a bad song on it.

[dclapp]

Love this Jon! Miss you and can't wait to see more to come!

Very nicely done! I love the fresh angle you're taking on aviation vlogging. Good stuff! Let's meet up at the Fine Grind again soon :) Keith

I love the channel! Found out about you through Max Trescott reading your letter. Question: how does your band’s gear get to and from each show, especially when you have back to back engagements in different states?

[hansvanriet]

Great video, thanks for posting and keep them coming. I noticed that you don’t read back any runway clearances. You would be crucified by controllers if you did that in SoCal.

Please don't do spoiler intros. Don't show the end of the book then start back at the beginning.
